The Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) was the first Marxist party in Russia. In 1903, the party split into two factions, the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks. The Bolsheviks eventually split off completely from the RSDLP and formed their own party. The Bolshevik Party eventually became the Communist Party in 1918.
The labor party of WW1 was split because the leader Billy Hughes was a very big fan of the idea of conscription (men being forced into the armed forces so as not to loose the war from lack of soldiers) Many people in the party (and in australia) were horrified by the idea, infact australia was almost divided in half. Those who supported conscription followed Mr huges and with that suport Billy Hughes created his own party and Introduced conscription of soldiers to fight on the australian fronts. He wanted more but didn't want to loose his place in leading australia.
